Previously onSWAT...

HONDO: We all knew Thai SWAT were good.

NIRAN: But you didn't think we were as good

as LAPD SWAT, the best of the best.

You're sure giving us a run for our money.

My daughter's in the U.S. right now.

Pepperdine, in Malibu.

Any plans for the weekend?Gonna head north

to see an old buddy of mine.

Works for the UN's drug

and crime unit on the border.

We've been having an uptick in L.A. of heroin packages

found in green tea wrappers just like this one.

Word is, they come from this region.

[speaking Burmese]

I've been shot.

HONDO: Come on. Whoa, hey.

You like the Lakers? Your shirt-- the Lakers.

I promise we will help you.

I want to give you something, and me giving this to you

means that we're friends.

We need help. Joe...

Get evac.

DEACON: Hey, Hondo,

say that again. I'm not copying.

Hondo and Joe are AWOL somewhere in this region.

Now Deacon and Tan are choppering north

with the Thai SWAT team to try to locate.

LUCA: Maybe the local dealer knows something

about the green tea operation.

STREET: Where do we find this guy, Lek?

Hey![groans]

Put a bullet right here.

He's my nephew. My blood runs

through his veins.

What are you waiting for?!

[shouting in Burmese]

SOMCHAI: They moved everything.

The whole operation-- gone.HONDO: Then I got to stay here

and help. I made Thet a promise.

I'm not leaving until I know he's safe.

We're a team. We're not leaving here without you.

HONDO: Hey. You headed back

to the hospital?

Yeah. May's had a long night.

I told her I'd bring her a change of clothes.

She feeling a little better now that Joe's out of the woods?

A little. It's been tough, but she's taking it in stride.

May's a strong woman.

Well, you're a strong woman, too, babe.

I know it means a lot to May having you by her side.

Please give my best to Joe, all right?

I will.All right?

I'll walk you out.Okay.

Zaw Min's quickest line out of here is if he flees north.

Nah, he won't flee.

Zaw Min's heroin stockpile is worth millions.

He can't get it through these mountains.

No way he leaves it behind.

So you think he'll stick around, then?

I think he doesn't fear a fight.

Tan, what's up?

I know kids can have it rough anywhere, but, man, these kids?

Abducted from their villages and parents,

then forced to pack heroin 15 hours a day?

Yeah. When they're not working,

Zaw Min's keeping 'em confined somewhere.

They're essentially prisoners.

That's Thet, right there.

And that's got to be his brother Win.

Thet's the kid that helped you?

He risked his life doing it. That's why I got to find him.

That boy saved my life.

I'm not about to let him down.

That doesn't mean you and Deacon got to stay.

Hey, I already told you-- we ain't leaving here without you.

We meant that.

Hey. Think we got a lead on the kids.

Our aerial unit just spotted some kind of bunkhouse

deep in the foothills.

Several children were reported in the area.

They're raiding the place as we speak.

What are we waiting for? Let's go.

[indistinct chatter]

Thet and his brother aren't here.

Well, maybe one of the other kids saw 'em

and knows where they went.

Somchai has his guys asking 'em right now. No luck so far.

Hey, Hondo, this boy's name is Denpo.

I think he knows something.

Hey, little man.

You American?Mm-hmm.

Thet say you come.

Do you know Thet?

Do you know where he is?

Hey.

[speaking Burmese]

He said Thet and his brother were in their room

when Zaw Min's men came and took them.

He doesn't know where.

[yells][yells]

Ah.

[laughs]

Pay the lawyer whatever she asks.

MAN: [clapping] Come on!

[speaking Burmese]

[men shouting]

Put it in the top.

The boys were all kept up here.

Aw, Deac, look at this.

[distant shouting]

[flies buzzing]DEACON: We've seen better prisons.

This is no way for kids to live.

No. Wait a minute.

This is Thet's.

He left it.

DEACON: What do you think

that symbol means?

I'm not sure.

Maybe some sort of clue. Somchai,

does that mean anything to you?

The symbol, I've never seen before.

But the letters-- I think

he's trying to write "Krung Thep" in Thai.

It's how we say "Bangkok."

You said that Zaw Min had a stockpile of heroin.

If he wanted to unload it?

Best place for the best price would be Bangkok.

Must be where he's headed.

And he took the boys with him.

We got to get back to the city.

♪

This drug lord from the mountains--

do you have proof that he's here in Bangkok?

Proof, no. But a villager saw Zaw Min

load drugs onto a truck near the river.

Now, that truck and an SUV pulled out

into a southbound byway.

We think Zaw Min's trying to sell his heroin supply

before he flees.

It's estimated to be over 200 kilos, sir.

Well, he'd be a fool to bring that much heroin to our city.

Zaw Min is no fool, but right now, he is desperate.

He's lost a lot of his men, and he knows

that UN forces are flooding the border.

He wants out, but not before he sells his drugs.

And, sir, he's not just desperate, he's dangerous.

He'll do anything to get what he wants.

Is this the drawing that the boy made?

He left that for us to find.

"Origin not identified"?

The symbol is in no known language.

Look, I doubt that Thet ever learned to read or write.

He only managed to write a couple letters,

so he drew something.

How old is this boy, Sergeant?

11, 12, maybe, but the boy is clever.

I'm telling you, this symbol could be the key to saving him.

And finding Zaw Min's heroin.

If you're right, then there's $30 million worth of heroin

somewhere on my streets.

Captain!

What'd he just say?

He said, "The lead seems promising."

I may not speak Thai, but I know you're full of it.

[soft chuckle]

Let's just say

I have a friend who works upstairs

in the narcotics bureau.

And he keeps a file on every criminal informant in the city.

So, anyone worth talking to, he'll know.

LEK: What the hell is that?

STREET: You work for Zaw Min.

You tell us.[scoffs]

You still haven't found him.

I don't know what that thing is,

but it won't lead to anyone in Thailand.

Too bad, because if it did, maybe the D.A. could give you

a lighter charge than trafficking.

Detectives uncovered your base of operation--

apartment over on Hoover?

STREET: Found a few of these lying around.

Heroin is a Schedule 1 narcotic

in the U.S. We got you

on possession, intent, interstate transport.

I don't know anything about an apartment on Hoover.

All you have is rumors, which means you have nothing.

Hey,

where's that sexy little thing that cuffed me?

She around?

Put me in, sir.

Being arrested by a woman bruised his ego.

I can use that. I can crack him.

I don't think that's necessary.

These two are making good headway.

They were, but they're stalling out.

I used to wait tables at a dive bar.

I know my way around guys like this.

All their macho BS?

He's dying to get back at me. It's probably

all he's thought about since I put him on the ground.

You'd have to walk a fine line in there.

We need some answers.

I can do this, Commander.

CHINTANA: Welcome back to the city.

Chintana. I can't tell you how grateful we are.

There's no way we'd find Hondo and Joe

if you hadn't arranged for that chopper.

I'm only sorry I couldn't be there.

Hondo's friend Joe-- he's okay?

Yeah, he's doing much better. Thank you.

Doctors are optimistic.

Listen, I know it's not easy

sitting behind a desk when you'd rather be out in the field.

But what you did?

It saved lives, and I'm-I'm very grateful for that.

Then I hope you appreciate this one, too.

I've been doing some digging, and I may have a lead.

A lead on Zaw Min?No. On this man.

Zaw Min's bodyguard. His name is Yaza Than.

He's been sighted many times at a particular go-go bar

in the red-light district.

Seems there's a girl there he's very fond of.

And seeing her with other men?

I guess he can't control his temper.

So you're thinking, if he's in town...

He won't be able to resist paying her a visit.

Have you gone to the commander with this?

If you want to make detective,

this is a great way to show initiative.

Not if it leads to nothing. I'll just be wasting his time.

I'll go to the bar, find the girl.

You know if she's working today?

Yeah. Her shift is at 7:00. Okay.

TAN: Hey. We're rolling.

Somchai and Hondo have a CI

we're gonna talk to.

All right. You go ahead.

Chintana's got another lead. I think it's worth checking out.

TAN: Roger that.Yeah.

♪

HONDO: So, how do you know this guy?

SOMCHAI: He owns a knockoff clothing store

that used to launder drug money.

Now he work as a bartender and a CI for us.

People call him "Uan."

Is he cool?Yeah.

My friend at the bureau says he likes Americans.

Uan?

♪

Who you trying to find?

Looking for a drug lord-- Zaw Min.

You're too late. Zaw Min is dead.

That's just a rumor. He's very much alive, and he's in town

looking to offload a large amount of heroin.

We need to know who he might sell to.

You know why I'm happy to be out of the drug business?

Long ago, Zaw Min's men asked me to do his books.

When I refused...

TAN: How about you get even

by pointing us in the right direction?

Nice shirt. Where's it from?

No clue. My wife got it for me.

I do not know who is in the market to buy from Zaw Min,

but I do know something about his habits.

If I tell you, what do I get?

That depends on what you know.

Zaw Min uses the same courier whenever he's in Bangkok.

Name is "Ducky." Delivers messages,

drives them around, that kind of thing.

What kind of car does he drive?Not a car.

A tuk-tuk. Number 742.

All tuk-tuk in Bangkok have GPS,

so their dispatcher can track them.

I'll make a call.

Thank you, man. How can we repay you?

♪ Baby, be mine...

You serious?

[phone buzzes]Tan. What's up?

TAN: Somchai's CI gave us a lead

on a tuk-tuk driver tied to Zaw Min.

We're gonna try to get a read on his GPS,

see if we can hunt him down.All right.

Chintana and I are heading down to the red-light district,

see if we can track down Zaw Min's bodyguard.

Keep in touch.Yeah. Roger that. Will do.

There she is. You just

couldn't get enough of me, could you?

I got enough to know you're not at all my type.

So you can knock off whatever this thing is you're doing.

Why do you have to be like that?

You don't know what you're missing. [chuckles]

I think I do.

You went down to the ground awfully easy in that restaurant.

And, to be honest, I like a man with a little more fight.

Uncuff me and, uh...

you'll get a fight.

Not blaming you, though.

Probably wasn't a lot of room for girls, growing up as one

of Zaw Min's boy soldiers?

Had to be rough.

She's kicking on a hornet's nest.

Zaw Min abused you.Maybe it'll work.

Made you feel powerless.

And now you compensate with this pathetic macho routine,

thinking that it makes you bigger somehow.

What's it like being a bitch?

You really want to impress me, Lek?

And we both know you do.

Show me you've got the balls to stand up to Zaw Min.

Show me you're not still the same little boy,

cowering at the very thought of him.

Go to hell.

You don't know what it's like.

You have the chance here to flip the table on him.

Be a man.

Tell me how to find him.

He likes to...

What's going on?

Interrogation's over.Ellen Foley.

My client's bail has been posted.

He's free to go.Are you kidding?

Now, if you please? I'm late for a lunch.

Unhook him.

Female cop among all these men.

Which one of us is desperate to prove something?

HICKS:Get your client out of here, Ms. Foley.

Keep walking.[chuckles]

I had him right on the edge.

I just needed another minute.

You did what you could, Powell.

Hey, Street?

I just remembered

an errand I need to run?

Cover for me, will you?

[indistinct chatter]

TAN: Looks like we're just

around the corner from the go-go bar

Deacon and Chintana are headed to.

Are we sure that's the right tuk-tuk?

HONDO: 742-- that's the one.

There he is. If he is working

for Zaw Min, he damn sure ain't in a hurry.

Maybe we go have a chat with him. No.

Hang back. Let's see what he does.

[indistinct shouting]

What's this girl's name again?

Her name is Aranya.

I'll ask the DJ, and you check at the bar.

["Ya Ma Yer" by Thaitanium playing]

Which one's Aranya?

Want to buy me a drink?

No drinks. Hey, I'm looking for somebody.

You in Bangkok. It's okay.

The drink not too expensive.

No, look, I'm a cop.

We're looking for one of your regulars.

A man named Yaza Than.

Do you know this man?

Word is, he comes here a lot just to see you.

Look, we're not after your boyfriend.

I just want to ask him some questions about his boss.

He's a very bad man, a drug lord named Zaw Min?

No drug here. This not allowed.

He might bring that crap here.

I lose my job.

Stop putting on an act

and just answer the question. Do you know this man?

I never see this man, honey.

[distant shouting]

Who you think he's texting?

Maybe he's picking someone up.

[laughter]♪

[gasps]Sorry.

Aranya, I know you're lying.

I'm not trying to get you involved.

We just need to find Yaza Than.

The life of two boys depends on it.

Don't move![grunts]

Chintana! Found him!

Leave him be!

Go, go, go.

[grunting, glass rattling]

HONDO: Tuk-tuk driver's moving.

He's headed

for the go-go bar.There he is!

Police!Police! Don't move!

You don't want to do it!Go, go, go!

Have you seen these kids?

Look at 'em!

Have you seen these two boys?

[indistinct chatter]

Commander, all due respect,

but Chintana's taking a lot of the heat that I deserve, too.

We could have avoided the ruckus at a bar

if she had followed protocol.

We could have sent in a whole team.

We had no idea what we were getting into.

And the truth be told,

Chintana got us close to someone in Zaw Min's orbit.

She helped the case.

She was just trying to impress you.

Well, she failed to do that.

If the situation were reversed, and we were in Los Angeles,

I would be careful to know my place.

Sir, I know I'm a guest,

but I also know that she deserves a break.

You're right.

You are a guest.

All good with the commander?

Uh... no. No. He came down

pretty hard on Chintana.

She was just showing initiative, and I'm pretty sure

if a male cop had done the same,

it'd be a totally different story.

I remember Chris once said her loneliest day was her first day

on the force. Never felt like more of an outsider.

Maybe it's universal.

If that's the case, then...

a lot of good officers are gonna be overlooked.

Not everyone is cut out to be a trailblazer

like Chris, but she is.

How'd the interrogation go?

The tuk-tuk driver give up anything on the boys?

He ain't talking, but we dug into his files.

Yesterday, two vehicles entered Bangkok

using his toll road account.

Let me guess, a box truck and an SUV.

Zaw Min. It's got to be.

I hope his nephews are in that convoy.

Somchai also dug up something else.

Before we started tailing the courier last night,

the tuk-tuk's GPS went dark for an hour.

Picked back up just on the other side of the river.

Probably met up with Zaw Min during that time.

Which means Zaw Min's somewhere near that river.

Now, if we can figure out where,

we might be able to find the boys.

[phone line ringing]

LEK: Yeah?

ZAW MIN: The police know I'm in Bangkok.

They are getting too close.

I need the extra leverage that we discussed.

Yes, sir.

I'm already on it.

I'll call you when I have her.

♪

[man speaking Burmese]

Here is where the tuk-tuk GPS went dark.

And there is where it picked up again.

Good chance that Zaw Min is hiding out

somewhere in this area.

This part of the city, how populated are we talking?

40,000, maybe 50,000 people.

A lot of potential hiding places.

We got to narrow it down somehow.

Alleys, loading docks-- plenty of places to hide a truck.

Is there a warehouse district?

Yes, here.

Some were converted into bars and restaurants by developers.

So gentrification isn't just an American thing.

I might have something.

I've been digging through property records in the area.

There's a small warehouse, two blocks from the river,

owned by a Burmese holding company.

Not much more information on them.

What's the nature of the business?

They're listed as a tea wholesaler.

Zaw Min distributes his heroin in tea bags.

This guy must think he's clever.

Maybe too clever for his own good.

Where is this place exactly?

Here.

Streets look tight in there. They are.

Wait a minute.

Can you zoom in on that sign right there?

You guys seeing this?

That's the symbol Thet left for us.

That's got to be Zaw Min's hideout.

Let's roll.

Chintana?

That is great detective work.

STREET: Hey.

How'd your errand go?

Went fine. Why?

I saw the look on your face after that interrogation.

You had him on the hook,

close to breaking him.

You got to let it go.

And let him start getting up to no good?

I knew you followed him.

Lek has a direct line to Zaw Min.

We should be keeping an eye on him.

We have had this conversation before.

We work as a team.

Hicks is gonna have your ass

if he knows you're going off on your own,

doing surveillance.

Look, I'm not breaking any laws.

I just wanted to see where he was going.

You would've talked me out of it. Right?

I just want you to do things by the book.

Be a team player?

Lek's attorney dropped him off at a car rental place.

Then he rolled out in a van.

I lost him after that, but it's suspicious, right?

Eh, he could've called a rideshare,

or rented a sedan...

so, yeah, maybe. Maybe.

That's why the symbol's not showing up in any database.

It's half faded off.

But that's what Thet would've remembered

if he had been here before.Little guy's clever.

Not sure I would've thought of that.

No sign of Zaw Min or the kids. You're sure?

Yeah. We cleared the whole building.

There's no one here.Maybe Thet got it wrong.

HONDO:The kid left the symbol there for a reason.

This has to be the right spot.

Wait a minute, Deac. Check this.

HONDO: Tan, Somchai.

DEACON: Clear.

Heroin's gone. Kids, too.

We're in the right place, we're just too late.

Hey, Hondo.

You said Thet was a Lakers fan, right?

Look what's written here in the dust.

SOMCHAI: 8-24?

I don't get it.

8 and 24 were the jerseys that Kobe Bryant wore

when he played for the Lakers.

That's Thet trying to draw our attention.

Hey.

This looks like it might be a dragon, with an arrow.

It's pointed West.

Is there any sort of temple or dragon statue that direction?

There is a backpacker bar that way, along the river,

called The Sleeping Dragon.

That's got to be where the deal's going down.

That's where Zaw Min's got them. Let's go.

Chintana ran the plates on the SUV out front.

Same one from the tollbooth, definitely Zaw Min.

We have to roll now.

SOMCHAI: Wait a minute.

There are too many civilians inside.

If we move too soon,

his men are trigger-happy.

And I saw two armed guards hanging near a side entrance,

having a smoke.

We got to get to Thet and Win.

They could be running out of time.

Hondo, we got to case the joint.

We got to get better eyes on the bar.

We need to know exactly where those kids are

before we set foot in there.

All right, all right.

It looks popular with tourists.

What if one of us goes in as a civilian,

tries to get a visual, see what we're dealing with?

Well, my cover's blown.

He obviously knows what I look like.

And Zaw Min knows Hondo on sight.

It's got to be me.

HONDO [over comms]: Just don't push it, Tan.

Any sign of trouble, you let us know.

TAN: Yeah, roger that. Heading in.

Clocking 30 or more civilians.

A lot of innocent lives could be in danger if things pop off.

HONDO: Let me know when you got eyes on our bad guy.

[music playing in background]

Haven't spotted any of them in the main area.

Gonna try the back.Tan, be careful.

Do not get made.

[quietly]: Excuse me.

[overlapping chatter]

Hey, bathroom? [speaks Thai] Mm.

TAN: One gunman on the three side.

Eyes on Zaw Min, storage room

in the back of the bar.

Looks like the deal's going down right now.

HONDO: What about Thet?

Are the boys in there?TAN: Can't see 'em.

Eh.

Wait. He's here, Hondo.

Hey.

I see Thet and Win.

They're both here, Hondo.

Are you in position to get to them?No.

And you got your friend shot!

Everyone set? On my count.

Three, two...Wait, wait, wait.

Everybody stop.HONDO: What's going on?

We've been ordered to stand down.

Ordered? Ordered by who?It's Commander Niran.

His daughter's in L.A. She's been kidnapped,

and she will be killed if you don't back off

and let Zaw Min go.Looks like I'm in charge now!

[phone rings, buzzes]

All right, listen up.

All right, the team's here, Hondo. Go ahead.

We have Zaw Min cornered, but he managed

to get Commander Niran's daughter kidnapped

out there in L.A.

Her name's Nikki. She's a student at Pepperdine.

Okay, this drug lord has all the leverage. What's he want?

To get out of here scot-free, I'm guessing.

Look, if I can stall him, can you find this girl?

Yeah, you know we'll try, Hondo, but that's the best we can do.

Then do it.

I've got to go.

It's got to be Lek who grabbed her.

He's Zaw Min's right-hand man in L.A.

No wonder that son of a bitch got bailed out so quickly.

Let's get out a BOLO.

Stevens, put his picture in every patrol car.

I'm gonna call his attorney and pray to God

she still has a conscience.

Actually, Commander, there might be a better way.

After he left here, Lek went and rented a van.

And how do you know that?I kept tabs on him, sir.

[scoffs] We both did.

The rental van's got a GPS.

Shouldn't take long to track it down.

I'll want answers later.

Right now, find that van.

He's demanding a speedboat.

He wants it brought up right to the dock.

Locals don't have any kind of shore patrol.

If Zaw Min hits open water, he's gone.

And then Thet's gone, too.

Look, my team back in L.A.

is doing all they can to find the commander's daughter,

but I need you to stall that boat.

Look, I'll do what I can, but every minute we wait,

Commander Niran's daughter is in danger.

Just to be clear, taking me out won't do you any good!

If I don't call my friend from international water

before the sundown, the girl dies!

Okay, we hear you, Zaw Min.

We're working on the boat.

Just give us some time.You're taking too long!

Your commander will be burying his daughter in pieces!

Do you understand me?!

Get me my boat!

Your time is running out!

[Zaw Min shouting in Burmese]

He's turning on Thet. He knows Thet helped you.

Huh?

Huh?!

Okay, Zaw Min, the boat's almost here.

You can come out now.

Everybody, stand down.

Now, remember, if I don't make the call, the girl dies.

Don't do anything.

TAN: We're just gonna stand here and watch him go?

SOMCHAI: It's the only way to keep the commander's daughter alive.

Look, we need to hit Lek by surprise

so he doesn't have a chance to hurt the girl.

Yeah, if he hasn't already.

How are things looking on the Thai side?

Forget that. It's up to us now.

Working together as a unit.

[panting]

How much longer can you stall the boat?

I can't. It'll be here any minute.

The boat better be coming!

Hondo. There it is.

Eyes on the van.

Clear.Clear.

He must've brought her inside. Go. Go.

Stevens.

Two, two, two!Two, two!

♪

Eyes on the suspect. Southeast corner.

Hey!

Hey![grunts]

[grunting]

Down.

Not another move, nibblenuts.

Okay, 22-David to Command. Suspect in custody.

No sign of the girl yet.

[woman crying]

Locked.

We're hearing a rustling coming from behind a door.

[muffled crying]

We found Nikki. Hey, it's okay.

You're all right. You're all right.

She's alive. We got her.

LUCA: Okay, 22-David to Command.

Female victim is safe.

Repeat. Tell Hondo that the commander's daughter is safe.

Hondo to Bangkok Command.

Kill the boat. I repeat. Kill the boat.

Have them bring it right here! Don't try anything!

What's going on? I'm warning you!

I'm warning you!

Kill the girl now!

Sorry, this is the LAPD.

We don't do that sort of thing.

[shouts in Burmese]

HONDO: Looks like you're out of cards now, Zaw Min!

Bring the boat back here, or the kid dies!

Take it easy!

Nobody else needs to die!

I give all the kids a choice, you know,

when I bring them in!

Either they work, or they die!

My nephew never had to make that choice!

He was my blood!

He still is!

No, he's not anymore!

He betrayed me!

So I guess he did make a choice after all!

HONDO: Come on, man, let the kid go!

He deserves a chance!

Why do you even care?

No one give a damn about poor Burmese stray!

You are not even from here!

You should be long gone by now!You're right.

But I made a promise to that kid, and I intend to keep it!

Thet, be brave.

Trust me.

[Thet grunts][gunshot]

[grunting]

HONDO: Move in, move in!

Thet. Thet, it's okay. It's okay.

You did good. You're safe now.

You and your brother, okay?

No one's gonna hurt you.

[Thet crying]

Powell.

Hold up.

It was good work today,

thinking Lek was up to something,

that another shoe might drop.

A good hunch goes a long way.

And just so you know,

I don't hand out compliments that easily.

Never have.

Appreciate you saying that.

Truth be told, part of me still feels like

I've got big shoes to fill.

You do, but the reason we chose you

is because you're unique.

No one thinks you're anyone's replacement.

I just want to do right by you guys...Yeah.

...and anyone else who came before me.

Now, look, you just...

make sure you keep on the right side of the line.

I'm not stupid.

I know Street covered for you today,

and we got the W.

But you keep playing it fast and loose,

and that winning streak's gonna dry up...

[snaps fingers]

...like that.

I think the words you're looking for are,

"It won't happen again, Commander."

You have my word.

Ah, close enough.

I'll see you tomorrow.

[Joe sighs, talks quietly]

Joe.

Well, that looks like one hell of a recovery.

Well, I'm ex-SAS. I'm tough as nails.

I would be on my feet,

but May said, I come in the wheelchair,

or I don't come at all.

[laughs, groans]

Seriously, though, I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for you.

Thank you, mate.

Nah. Come on, man. You'd have done

the same thing for me if the situation was reversed.

NICHELLE: Uh, let's hope it never is.

Waiting on news of you two was hell.

May is the only reason I didn't lose my mind.

You did more for me than I did for you.

Just lucky we had each other, then, I guess.

Yep.

Did Thet and Win make it off all right?

Yes, they're with their mother, finally headed home,

although Thet couldn't stop talking

about some trip to Los Angeles?[chuckles] Yeah.

I told him I'd fly him and his family

out to Los Angeles next year, take him to a Laker game.

Looks like he's gonna hold me to it. [chuckles]

Hey, Chintana told me

that you spoke to Commander Niran on her behalf.

She wanted me to say thank you.

Oh, tell her she's very welcome.

I'm not sure how much weight my recommendation will carry,

but I can tell you this.

In the brief time I worked with her,

she deserves a shot at making detective.

Well, she said that, uh, the commander

had already recommended her to the chief, so, thanks to you,

I think she'll get her chance after all.

Wow. That's great to hear.

And the chief won't regret it.

She has got a lot of potential.

Couldn't agree more.

Somchai?

Yes, sir.

This is definitely not what I expected

when Commander Hicks suggested

a training exercise for our teams.

I appreciate everything you did to get us all back in one piece.

Thank you.It's our pleasure.

And I hope that, regardless of what happened,

you'll still come back one day.

I hope so, too, but next time,

I'm not bringing any business from back home.

He needs to work on staying out of trouble when he travels.

Hey, we learned a lot from Thai SWAT,

things that we'll bring back with us,

that'll make us better.

Well, you may have given us a chance

to show off a little bit,

but I learned that LAPD SWAT is one of the best,

not because of all your gak and training

but because you guys treat each other like family.

And now you're part of that family, too.

Yeah, the rest of the team back in L.A.

can't wait to meet you.

I might even line us up a special food tour

for when you visit. You can try my mom's dandan noodles.

What do you say?Okay, brother.

Bring it on.All right, all right.

[laughter]

[Nichelle gasps]

And I say, here's to another mission completed.
